[colebar1]

Also you are in Ontario so more stock/cheaper compared to out west in alberta.

Lol Pisces in Calgary has one for 399.99 the exact same as mine and it is smaller.

WOW ! Prices are that HIGH in Calgary ? How do you guys keep up ? I would not have much stock if any if I lived out there. I am in Bradford, Ontario. 30 minutes south of Barrie and a little more then 30 minutes north of Toronto.

Off the top of my head there are about 10 or so independent salt water stores and 5 or so big als stores in the G.T.A. ( GREATER TORONTO AREA ).

I went to an independent store a few months ago the prices like most of the independents are roughly half price or less of bigs als and better quality.

I bought a large green carpet , a large green white carpet, and a lager plain color magnificent anemone for $150.00 and he threw in 2 anemone crabs.

So, wow the prices there are INSANE !!!

The average price for a large green carpet at Big ALs is around $100.00 or a LITTLE more. The independents can vary from roughly the same prices to a half.

If you look at the BIg ALS weekly specials on the weekends you will have a good idea what the going prices are here. Again Big' Al's is the most expensive for live stock.

The image quality is lacking but you get the idea. If you want me to delete my post regarding prices let me know. That was just to give you a rough idea what the prices are like here.

I am still blown away at the prime rate you guys are paying for stock. INSANE ! Someone is making money.

I agree with Colebar on his pricing. It's a different market here. I'm tempted to make an offer, just knowing it's healthy

Wais aquarium has a "white carpet anemone" for 199.99
It's a green one that lost all color.
White ones don't exist for carpet anemones.
I have a guy on facebook that recently added me from seeing my carpet photos in a group. He can send me a blue gig or red haddonis carpets for 200us.
He's based in the UK they are very cheap out by him.

One of the carpets I have is quite common. White mixed with green stripes. Another is another Tan carpet and the green Carpet. Completely with is bleached. White with green stripes is normal common carpet.

Those are VERY good prices for Blue and Red Carpets. Blue carpets seldom show up here in stores. Red carpets pop up every so often they start at $400.00 plus ( $400.00 would be on the low end of the price scale )

I'm trying to put this a gentle as I can, perhaps these comments are best made via PM...

If this was a build thread or a thread on carpet anemones etc this would be totally appropriate and encouraged conversation. But on Buy/Sell/Trade thread it only makes it more difficult for the seller.


There's a price that makes it worthwhile to part with it, and there's a price someone is willing to pay. Hopefully those 2 are in the same ballpark. If not.... well there's always Big Al's...

.....big Als is closed for ever lol

But yes agrees
